So let get this straight.  You want the VM to use the HW GPU that you
assigned to it and also use the audio on that GPU (e.g. HDMI or DP
output).  When you add the "-audiodev driver=none" the VM cannot see the
audio device on that GPU card?  Or is that unrelated?

There were some strict definitions added for audio devices lately, I
presume to make sure that no data gets leaked in/out the VM and in order
to get audio anywhere else than from/to VNC/spice you'd need to
configure that.  It should not affect device assignment as far as I
understand it, although there might be some misunderstanding.
